Despite the first signs of economic recovery, unemployment will remain high for the years to come and it will take long before employment gets back to pre-recession levels. The 6th Annual Meeting will bring together some 200 representatives of local partnerships, government officials, social entrepreneurs, business leaders, trade unions and academics to review how local development actors are adapting to this new reality and what are the innovations emerging on the ground to respond to these new challenges.
Venue: Vienna (Austria)
